So often going the wrong way.....


Cling to who
By: Erin 

I often cling to people
In hopes that they can pull me out of my misery

I often cling to people
In an effort to experience they joy they portray

I often cling to people
In fear that if I don’t hold on tight they will walk away

I often cling to people
In a desire to learn to be like them, and less like me

I wonder why I so often cling to people
When Christ is only real one who can do these things for me

Christ calls us to cling to him so he can pull us out of our misery
Christ calls us to cling to him so he can give us true joy
Christ calls us to cling to him and promises he will never walk away
Christ calls us to cling to him, deny ourselves and become more like him each and every day

Yet my stubborn nature continues to want to cling to people
But as with most things half the battle is becoming aware
And now this can be my prayer

Dear God,
Protect me from wanting to cling to and please everyone around me
Inspire a desire to seek after you: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit… The Three
Help me to love people but not more that you
And when I mess up, and we both know I will, be a reminder that I’m already made new
Show me the path you that have already laid down for me
But God, above all else keep reminding me that because of your Son I am already free.
In Jesus’ name
Amen
